I'm sure the word GENITALIA comes from the same root as GENESIS, but I'm afraid to look it up on line. The last time I looked up an anatomical term on line I wound up getting daily emails offering me viagra in a plain brown wrapper. And penis enlargement.

-genesis: A suffix referring to the beginning, development, or production of something. For example, gametogenesis is the development and production of the male and female germ cells (the gametes) required to form a new individual. Osteogenesis is the production of bone. Pathogenesis is the development of a disease, the sequence of events leading up to that disease. The Latin word "genesis" is derived from the Greek "gignesthai" meaning "to be born."
